Accounting & BookkeepingLicensing & Certification4HighAccountant$ implied
An experienced accountant with an older degree cannot register as MAAT because AAT does not recognize qualifications older than 6 years, blocking her from starting her own practice.
AAT's policy doesn't account for experienced professionals who earned their degree years ago but have since gained practical experience; it treats them the same as recent graduates without work history.
